Christmas in Korea

This is the shortbread I made. I didn't have the proper cookie cutter, so I just cut out the cookies with a knife. Even though the shape wasn't quite right, they tasted good. Everybody enjoyed them, even though a few commited the sacrilege of putting whipped cream on them. It was suggested that we could decorate them, but the look on my face stopped that. You can't put icing on shortbread.
Here is some more of the dessert. It wouldn't have been a proper Christmas without excessive amounts of sugary stuff. There were two pans of brownies, a peach pie, a blueberry pie, shortbread, and a triffle. All were yummy. The triffle made me think of that story Nancy used to tell us. Unfortunately, I can't actually remember how the story goes, but I remember that there is one. Something about a little girl picking the stuff off the top and ruining it.

Here are the people who were part of the Christmas "family" gathering. They make a good replacement family. We sat around and ate too much, as is expected at Christmas. Then some of us watched a movie. I fell asleep partway through the movie, which is also expected. It was a nice, relaxing day.

Merry Christmas!
